ā did something change? the forest feels different. āĀ Ā
ā itāsā¦itās still alive. ā Ā
ā i heard you. itās not up for discussion. ā Ā
ā space your shots. speed costs accuracy. ā Ā
ā we do what we must to survive. ā Ā
ā itās not like you donāt get angry in a fight. ā Ā
ā do not speak again. ā Ā
ā didnāt you hear that? voices. it feltā¦evil. ā Ā
ā close your heart to their desperation. close your heart to their suffering. ā Ā
ā people⦠theyāre trying to survive too. ā Ā
ā we are not men. we are more than that. ā Ā
ā and i thought my family was fucked up. ā Ā
ā finish what you started. ā Ā
ā smells like rotten eggs. is it still good? ā Ā
ā kill for survival, not for indulgance. ā Ā
ā there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: you cannot change. ā Ā
ā we all gotta take responsibility sometime, huh? ā Ā
ā slow down. your haste will cost us. ā Ā
ā i need to know if you can survive the journey. ā Ā
ā everything is different. try not to dwell on it. ā Ā
ā find your way home. you are free. ā Ā
ā put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. ā
ā i will do what i must. leave me be. ā Ā
ā that doesnāt mean you should lie to your friends or family. ā
ā do not concern yourself with what might be. focus on what is. ā
ā you do not want this fight. ā Ā
ā i will rain down agony, every possible violation, upon you. ā Ā
ā um, alrightā¦that hurt a little. ā Ā
ā you see through the eyes of a child. ā
ā you are stronger than you know. ā Ā
ā we fightā¦until i say stop or we are dead. understand? ā Ā
ā you are rightā¦i do not believe you. ā Ā
ā you think you understand, but you donāt. ā Ā
ā i know who you areā¦most importantly, i know what you are. ā Ā
ā your angerā¦you can get lost in it. ā Ā
ā it happens again, you tell me. understand? ā Ā
ā oh, you already know the answer to that. ā Ā
ā iām strong. iām smart. iām not what you think i am. ā Ā
ā your memory was a comfort in dark times. ā Ā
ā whatever it is you seek i do not have it. you should move on. ā Ā
ā long way from home, arenāt you? ā Ā
ā i have no desire to help you. ā Ā
ā i used to dream about getting eaten. ā Ā
ā it is wise to be discreet. ā Ā
ā you are not yourself. ā Ā
ā fight until we stop or we are dead. ā Ā
ā have you ever heard the termĀ ātempting fateā? ā Ā
ā as far as iām concerned, death suits you better. ā Ā
ā would you pardon me please? i need to collect myself. ā Ā
ā this fight is pointless. your struggle is pointless. ā Ā
ā struck a nerve, did i? ā Ā
ā no, waitā¦iām not giving up. i justā¦have to catch my breath. ā Ā
ā a dangerous beast. weāll take him down together. ā Ā
ā it is so good to see you again. ā Ā
ā canāt believe youāve lasted this long. ā Ā
ā hurry! iām slipping. ā Ā
ā only time you talk to me is when you need something. ā Ā
ā youāre more concerned with their safety than our goal. ā Ā
ā iād bow if i could, your majesty. ā Ā
ā try to find forgiveness, and we can start something new. ā Ā
ā i cannot undo your mistakes. ā Ā
ā it is a delicate balance. expect the worst. assume nothing. ā Ā
ā it sounds like they needed help. ā Ā
ā she meant more to me than you anyway. ā Ā
ā youāve seen it with your own eyes; you canāt hurt me. ā Ā
ā i just needed answersā¦but you had to act all proud. ā Ā
ā you only know half the story. ā Ā
ā iāmā¦sorry for your loss. ā Ā
ā anything youād like to get off your chest? ā Ā
ā throw whatever you have at meā¦iāll keep coming. ā Ā
ā slow and old. you should never have come here. ā Ā
ā think iām afraid of you? youāre nothing to me. ā Ā
ā weāre going to fight that? ā Ā
ā the fault is mineā¦and my responsibility to make it right. ā Ā
ā dead thingsā¦they have no needs. only wants. ā Ā
ā i am known for my attention to detail. ā Ā
ā i see youāve been busy. ā Ā
ā ;et me take this moment to tell you what you are about to do is absolutely insane. ā Ā
ā iāll be keeping my eyes on you. ā Ā
ā i am your monster no longer. ā Ā
ā until our journey is over, one of us must remain focused. ā
ā you know, i really hoped iād never see this place again. ā
ā i warned you. you would not listen. ā Ā
ā noā¦youāre bleeding. ā Ā
ā with power comes a big choice. you serve yourself or you serve others. ā Ā
ā be careful where youāre going. thereās no one nice out here anymore. ā Ā
ā you talk too much. ā Ā
ā we will fight it. because you are frightened of it. ā Ā
ā why are there two beds in there? ā Ā
ā will we see people on the road? friendly? will they try to rob us? ā Ā
ā tell me what i want, pain stops. real simple. ā Ā
ā you are going to have to kill me for that to happen. ā Ā
ā just tell me what i want to know! no need for this to get bloody. ā
ā relax. do not think of it as an animal. it is simply a target. ā Ā
ā we do what we please. no excuses. ā Ā
ā youāve had to kill people before, havenāt you? youāre used to it. ā Ā
ā how did they find meā¦after all this time? ā Ā
ā iām notĀ allowed there anymore on account of the, uh, incident.Ā ā Ā
ā hmā¦thought youād be bigger. ā Ā
ā youāre sounding more like your father by the minute. ā Ā
ā well, this is it. itās been an honor. ā Ā
ā do you have any idea, any idea at all, what you have cost me? ā Ā
ā for someone so strong you sure worry a lot. ā Ā
ā uhhā¦this is a lot of bodies. ā
ā you must be better than me. understand? ā
ā we win because we are determined. disciplined. not because we feel ourselves superior.)ā Ā
ā iām fine. just lost my balance for a moment. ā Ā
ā do not drop your guard. ā Ā
ā youāve only killed those deserving, right? ā Ā
ā can you kill something that big? ā Ā
ā worry serves me wellā¦and how i keep us alive. ā Ā
ā earlier you said people might kill us. iāll kill them if they try. ā Ā
ā so weāre going towards the scary singing? ā Ā
ā uh⦠do you hear that? what is it? ā
ā will i see you again? ā
ā you know my door is always open to you. ā Ā
ā but nobodyās killed a dragon for hundreds of years. ā Ā
ā the road ahead is long and unforgiving⦠no place for a child. you must be a warrior. ā
ā to be effective in combat, a warrior must not feel for his enemy. ā Ā
ā youāre kinda scary sometimes. ā Ā
ā do not call me that. ā Ā
ā i feel like we can beat anything now. ā Ā
ā to give up this easily, so close to the start⦠ā Ā
ā you are in your head. let it go. ā Ā
ā unless iām mistaken, you did all thatā¦for me. ā Ā
ā iāll kill them if they try. iām not afraid. ā Ā
ā if seeing me dead will make things right, i wonāt stop you. ā Ā
ā never thought iād see one up close⦠ā Ā
ā stay by me. touch nothing. ā Ā Ā
ā you are wise for one so young. ā Ā
ā are they dead? ā¦not dead! not dead! ā Ā
ā do not mistake my silence for lack of grief.Ā ā Ā
ā never leave me alone again. all right? ā Ā
ā i did what had to be done. ā Ā
ā i know you hate gods but you really canāt stay away from them, can you? ā Ā
ā somethingās breaking through the wall! ā Ā
ā it does not matter if you fire only once. show me control. ā Ā
ā do not allow yourself to feel for them. they do not feel for you. ā Ā
ā i do not know how to do this without you. ā Ā
ā iād hoped that you, of everyone, would finally make me feel something. ā Ā
ā steady your aim and breathe in. exhale and release. ā Ā
ā are we lost? should we be in here? ā Ā
ā the path you walk. vengeance. you will find no peace. ā Ā
ā you know i love you. you just can be better. i know you can be. ā Ā
ā you think itās safer in here?Ā ā Ā
ā listen to me. i can help. ā Ā
ā why wait to warn me? ā Ā
ā know any good stories to pass the time? ā Ā
ā you know whatās adequate? that footwork. you step in shit?Ā Ā ā Ā
ā uhā¦you didnt mean to do that, did you?Ā ā
ā why do you even care? you could have just walked away. ā Ā
ā if i wanted your opinion, iād ask for it. ā Ā
ā you left me here. again. why donāt you care? ā Ā
ā that bowās a little big for you, isnāt it? ā
ā the last of his kind in all the realm and you shoot him. ā Ā
ā and here i thought your kind was supposed to be so enlightened. so much better than us. so much smarter.Ā Ā ā Ā
ā you will always me a monster. ā Ā
ā what, you want a hug? ā Ā
ā in war, a soldier sees beauty in the blood of his enemy. ā Ā
ā follow down this path and head for daylight. ā Ā
ā finish what you started. ā Ā
ā it would serve you to stop talking. ā Ā
ā you did not think it was important to tell me? ā Ā
ā not a something for nothing type, are you? ā Ā
ā why should a deadly curse stop you? ā
ā something feels strangeā¦weāre heading into danger. ā Ā
ā the gods care nothing for you. (men should not pray to monsters.)Ā Ā ā Ā
ā the fatesā¦no good comes from them. ā Ā
ā it is important for a warrior to keep his skills sharp. ā Ā
ā trust i will not let us die. ā Ā
ā war was simply no fun anymore, but a rather senseless waste of precious life. ā Ā
ā when i require your counsel, i will ask. ā Ā
ā what i did, i did for you. ā Ā
ā you are too quick to temper. you a rash, insubordinate and out of control. ā Ā Ā
ā i donāt think weāre supposed to be in here. ā Ā
ā you think iām weak, because iām not like you. ā Ā
ā maybe iām just seeing things⦠ā Ā
ā mourn how you wish. leave me to my own. ā Ā
ā your father can kill. are you going to be able to do that? ā Ā
ā the path ahead is difficult and you are clearly not ready. ā Ā
ā anger can be a weapon if you control it ā use it. ā Ā
ā i proved myself. how am i not ready? ā Ā
ā if youād given me what i wanted, it wouldnāt have ended this way. ā Ā
ā you are hunting deer ā not chasing it. ā Ā
ā i donāt believe it. are youā¦alive? ā Ā
ā are you really going to lecture me about that? ā Ā
ā keep your expectations low, and you will never be disappointed. ā Ā
ā are you the last of your family too? ā
ā you got a real sentimental streak, know that? ā Ā
ā now is not the time for that. ā Ā Ā
ā you were gone for so long i thought that you⦠ā Ā Ā
ā are you jealous? want me all to yourself, do you? ā Ā Ā Ā
ā hey, do you mind? trying to concentrate here. ā Ā
ā your mother taught you well. ā Ā
ā i can tell you a thing or two about family matters. ā Ā
ā iāve been to many strange placesā¦but this is a new one. ā Ā
ā you left me alone to fight. ā Ā
ā look at me! look at me! ā Ā
ā donāt you see? they never gave up hope. and neither should we. ā Ā
ā my mother made it for me. ā Ā
ā you killed against my wishes. ā Ā
ā come. no looking back now. ā Ā
ā love and hate are more closely intertwined than you might imagine. ā Ā
ā there is much about me i would not have you know. ā Ā
ā today the winds of fate have kicked up a strange vortex of coincidence. ā Ā
ā okay, there are a few gaps in my knowledge. ā Ā
ā theyāre gonna be sorry they picked this fight. ā Ā
ā you can change your path. itās not too late. ā Ā
ā let me guessā¦youāre gonna be smug and say we shouldnāt have got involved. ā Ā
ā i defended us. nothing more. ā Ā
ā no. youāve been gone a long, long time! ā Ā
ā you are right to distrust the word of a god. ā Ā
ā youāve got some father. i almost feel bad for you. ā Ā
ā so your plan involves a whole bunch of luck? ā Ā
ā well, that was a waste of a perfectly good apple. ā Ā
ā our home is no longer safe. but it will be again. ā Ā
ā well, even a blind pig farts up a truffle. ā Ā
ā when they find you - and they will - theyāll make things difficult. ā Ā
ā thereās only one person alive who can get you where you need to goā¦and luckily for you, my scheduleās wide open. ā Ā
ā they were just hungry, the wolves. they werenāt mean. they were starving. ā Ā
ā only fire when i tell you to fire. ā Ā
ā no need to explain. not to me. not for that. ā Ā
ā i was just having a little fun, you big grump. ā Ā
ā you deserve better than what youāve got. ā Ā
ā wowā¦that was something, that fight. ā Ā
ā you help me, i help you. ā Ā
ā let them go. take me instead. ā Ā
ā youāve taught me so much. let me teach you something. ā Ā
ā alright. say it. āi told you soā. ā Ā
ā truth is seldom as pretty as myth and legend. ā Ā
ā hope is blinding your instincts. ā Ā
ā we are here because of you. never forget that. ā Ā
ā you are avoiding the question. ā Ā
ā you have a talent for destroying things. ā Ā
ā i can smell your grief. ā Ā
ā butā¦you told me to never go down there. ā Ā
ā iāve never felt more alive. ā Ā
ā itās not my blood. ā Ā
ā iām going to cut off your head now. ā Ā
ā youāve got a knack for ominous statements. ā Ā
ā this placeā¦it feels like a prison. ā Ā
ā donāt you know when to give up? ā Ā
ā we will handle it. we have come this far. ā Ā
ā iām fineā¦nothing to worry about. ā Ā
ā is it dishonorable to grow old? ā Ā
ā the power of any weapon comes from your heartā¦but only when tempered by your head. ā Ā
ā so unclean. so, so unclean. ā Ā
ā oh, cut it out, princess. youāre gonna get me all weepy. ā Ā
ā do not take your disappointment out on me. ā Ā
ā your angerā¦you can get lost in it. ā Ā
ā itās all you talk about, over and over. do something about it or shut up. ā Ā
ā i have a favor to ask. just a small favor. ā Ā
ā check the path and make sure we are alone. ā Ā
ā pain we endure. faulty weaponry we do not. ā Ā
ā thatās it? the adventure is over? ā Ā
ā if you try, iāll try. ā Ā
ā wow, youāre so stupid. that your fatherās doing? or your motherās? ā Ā
ā behind you, watch out! ā Ā
ā deny it all you want, but you saved me. ā
ā only use this as a last resort. ā
ā Ā truth is more important than kindness. Ā ā
ā i know every corner of these lands, every language spoken, every war waged, every deal struck. ā
ā it should have been you. you hear me? you. not her. ā
ā you donāt want me and you never will. ā
ā donāt know, donāt care. ā Ā
ā time has a way of changing things ā Ā
ā betrayal begets betrayal. ā Ā
ā bit of a softy, eh? youāll grow out of it. ā Ā
ā what do you meanĀ āitās your faultā? ā Ā
ā when we last spokeā¦i was⦠ā Ā
ā i regret my actions, and am filled with remorse. ā Ā
ā i wish i was strong enough to do that. ā Ā
ā they do not stop us, so they do not concern us. ā
ā this used to be a challenge. ā Ā
ā sorry. iām just trying to help. ā Ā
ā iāve always thought this place as desolate and cursed. ā Ā
ā inspiration is a fickle mistress. ā Ā
ā weāve come so far. there has to be a way. ā Ā
ā on our journey we will be attacked by all manner of creature. ā
ā woah. what happened here? ā Ā
ā you donāt have to be the smartest man in the world to see that. ā Ā
ā no one deserves to be held captive like this. ā Ā
ā did you hear that? it sounds like something screaming. ā Ā
ā stay quiet. make no movement. ā Ā
ā donāt be sorry. be better. ā Ā
ā you wonāt stop me. ā Ā
ā they caught you off guard. ā Ā
ā carelessness will only delay us. ā Ā
ā pull your weight or we go home. āĀ Ā
